Joe Wright was almost like a teacher, to be firm with me, that really stuck with me. And that helped me as I've gotten older.

I love cleaning. I love mopping the floor. If you need your floor mopped, I'm there.

I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I've finished reading the script.

My whole life I try to make into a comedy, so it would be nice to see that onscreen.

I remember being on Atonement and it felt very right to be there. There was so much excitement every day. I remember very vividly how it felt to be a child on a film set, and that is actually really important to hold on to for as long as you continue to make films.

I don't look at rushes, or I don't go to the dailies. I don't even really look at playback unless it's an action scene or a move that I need to do better, something like that.

Ivo van Hove is directing The Crucible, and rehearses in quite an unusual way. We started rehearsals last week and dived straight into the first act, like, five minutes after we all turned up. No warm-ups. We were very intensely immersed in that whole world on day one. It was quite surreal because I've never done any theater before.
